Since the governing MLS in the area (some are owned by the local Realtor associations and some by private parties) don't have the listings, many of the local agents don't see the listings and thus competition is reduced (so the argument goes). 

So, the LLC either 1099 or pays a salary to another party...  

An offer, unless it is signed by the other party is meaningless other than it indicates that you're interested in the property enough to make one.I know it can be frustrating to do some legwork on a property and have it sell while that's taking place, but you pulled building permits on it?

Movement Mortgage does a lot of them, but I've found the toughest part is to find a contractor willing to do the paperwork and get paid on a draw schedule. 

Word got out about our plans and some friends and a neighbor have shown interest in buying - even if either party doesn’t buy our house I’m considering FSBO to maximize profit from sale to reinvest in more rental property.

I went to see it the day after it went on the market and there where 4 other parties waiting to see it.

Perhaps a nice 1950's built bungalow.Always hire a 3rd party property inspector to give you an unbiased feel for the home.

Value is relevant to the buyer of an item, as they are the party that sets the value upon buying or bartering for something. 

There is quite a bit of equity in this short sale home which I dread losing especially due to some of the guidance I received from the parties in play (lender/s and realtor). 

Did you know that non-recorded dynamic text to speech messages can be delivered, and populated with the parties name and personalized to them?
